Charlie Kirk, the founder of the conservative youth activist organization Turning Point USA, was fatally shot during an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. President Donald Trump confirmed Kirk’s death on social media.

Charlie Kirk's heartbroken wife and family are struggling to tell their kids that "daddy isn't coming home" as they come to terms with his death, according to a political influencer.

With the rise of political violence across the US in recent years, Kirk’s killing has brought condemnation from both sides of the political spectrum.
